You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Using the information given, the ratio of vodka to the other ingredients is (1/6).
That is, there is one part vodka in 6 parts of the punch.
So how much vodka in 120 ounces?
Vodka+=+%281%2F6%29+%2A+total
Vodka+=+%281%2F6%29+%2A+120
Vodka+=+20
I hope this isn't a recipe included in the school student recipe collection.
